Ah it still feel so weird to me that the mc call ml 'apple of his eye' and a 'child' and t...

Same lmao just skipping through the chapters waiting for them to go back to the present this is just weird and totally unnecessary

I was hella weirded out seeing him as a child too. When we're back to the present idk how I'm gonna convince myself that actual taehyuk isn't the same taehyuk as this one

That won't help and ruin the story's foundation. He is a child in the past and the MC treats him as such but years have passed and he's grown. And more than anything we have to remember he's a dragon, a being that existed before even taking any form whatsoever. What he lacked was knowledge. If he was really a child then that would've been weird tho.

The other dragon in the latest chapter calls him a newborn... He's young even for a dragon, far from being an adult, and his lack of experience knowledge and maturity is repeated over and over.

I'm not saying he's mature but that he's a spiritual creature. Among his folks he'll be considered a child even after a 1000 years in front of an even older heavenly being. Which is why he cannot be compared to human children. His age cannot defy his knowledge. He can be whatever he wants to be. Just like Ryeo-ah, she looks like a child, talks like a child and even sometimes acts like a child. But she's more than 100 years old and is knowledgeable.

He isn't even knowledgeable though.

uh yeah cuz he spent his life in a really weak river
